Hi my name is Jon! I’ve been working for the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds for two years as a Facilities and Operations Technician. One of my favorite parts of my position is the opportunity to support our county fair. I especially like funnel cakes and deep fired Oreos! When I am not supporting the Event Center or the Fair, I enjoy working on my car and sampling craft beer.
